LEGISLATION IN ENGLAND.

Early Endeavors of Great Britain to
Check the Ram Curse Running Riot
Among Her People.
The most stringent laws we have had
passed were those of James l., which
may almost be called the first piece of
temperance legislation; for though the
act of Edward VI. gave power to the
justices to suppress unnecessary tip
pling-houses, it was chiefly directed
against using unlawful games, and
bound the licensed victualers to keep
good order in their houses. The act
in the first year of James was intended
to restrain the inordinate haunting and
tippling in inns and ale-houses; it de-
clares the 'true use of ale-houses" to
be for the relief of wayfarers, and not
for the entertainment of lewde and
idle people," There was to be PEN
atty of ten shillings for permitting
unlawful drinking" and all drinking
was unlawful except by bona fide trav-
elers, and by artisans and laborers
during their dinner hour. The public
house was only to be open to residents
in the locality for one hour in the
day for. the consumption of liquor
on the premises. This act was made
perpetual, with some notifications,
intended to render conviction
more easy, in the last Parliament of
James. In the first of Charles the
penalties were somewhat relaxed, but
the law could not be enforced, and
under these stringent laws drunkenness
increased apace. It had reached an
extraordinary pitch in 1869, when a
| French Protestant wrote from London;
''There is within this city and in all the
towns of England which have passed
through, so prodigious a number of
houses where they sell certain drink
called ale, that I think q good half of
the inhabitants may be denominated
ale-bouse keepers. But what
is most deplorable where gentlemen sit
and spend much more of their time
drinking muddy kind of beverage,
and using tobacco, which has univers-
ally besotted the nation, and at which
/ hear they have consumed many noble
estates. And that nothing
may be wanting to the height of luxury
and impiety of this abomination, they
have translated the organs out of the
churches to set them up in taverns,
chanting their dithyrambics and bestial
bacchanalias to the tune of those in
struments which were wont to assist
them in the celebration of Gods
praises, and regulate the voices of the
worst singers in the world, which are
/ the English in their churches at pres

THERE, YET HERE.

Last April She was with me, who, to-day.
Is some where in the far-off world of God.
Far of, said II She is not far away
When Heaven and earth are sundered by a

found the first shy blossom of the spring;

So full of tender thoughts, and oh, so true
And with that Aprirs joy my pulses beat

And loves light, shining outward, filed the

With radiance lingering far into the night
Again in dreams your loving hand hold;
Again upon my cheek feel your breath.

SILENT PEOPLE.
How They Are Frequently Misjudged by
the Noisy and Chattering Crowd.

How They Are Frequently Misjudged by
the Noisy and Chattering Crowd.
When a number of good-humored
people are setting out, bright and early
in the morning, on some exhilarating
expedition, it is pleasant to notice how
lively and expansive they are. For
the first hour they talk all at once,
laughing their words rather than speak
ing them. But as the forenoon goes
on, one after another drops gradually
into comparative quiet and silence. 1t
is not that they have ceased to enjoy
the excursion and each other, but the
first effervescence of the uncorked ami
NAL spirits of the morning has spent
itself.
In similar fashion, as we 90 on in
life past the period of obstreperous
youth, we incline to talk less and write
less, especially on the topics which we
have most to heart. The younger peo-
pie notice this, and think it is because
we are growing lukewarm ON these
matters. They deplore us, among
themselves, as being ''lost leaders, OIL
lost followers, of this and the other fine
cause. But they do not understand.
The thoughts deeper and stronger in us
now, perhaps, than when it was visible
at the surface and made more noise.
We are beginning to realize the use
lessness of perpetually talking, that is
all. If there is thing to be said we
prefer to wait and say it only when
and VIII ere it will hit something OIL
somebody.
Moreover, if the youngsters will OBJ
serve us little they may see that we
say number of things-and pretty
forcibly, toby simply taking them
for granted. They might follow us
around, A and B and G, and hall
dozen more of us elders, and listen to
our talk for whole week without ever
hearing from us a single argument or
exhortation on the subject, say, of the
intellectual Rights of Women OF
the ''Curse of the Ignorant Vote" But
they would soon notice that what we
quietly take for granted in our talk
would furnish a number of tolerably
strong creeds or platforms. They might
come to the conclusion, too, that this
quiet taking of certain things for
granted by sensible and vigorous men
and women is not to be despised, as a
working force, in comparison with
whole parlorsfull of vociferous chat
ter.-Atldntic.

There is an unwritten law-thcre are
plenty of unwritten laws in Washington
that lawyers appearing before the
Supreme Court shall wear black frock
coat at the very least; this relaxes rule
which formerly prevailed that dress
coat was essential. Some of the old
timers yet wear dress coats. The
judges are patient with the legal repre-

drew the line when trans Mississippi

ago without any cravat. The very,

A Curious Habit Of Ostriches.

A correspondent at Cape Colony,
South Africa, writes to the Scientific
American as follows: A curious habit
of these birds was witnessed on the
farm Guilford, in the Queenstown dis
trict, by the proprietor and some of his
family and servants during the late
rains. ........
The nest, which is merely large,
flat, saucer-like hole in the ground, be-
came flooded; and when the water did
not directly drain off, the two parent
birds began to drink it up till the nest
was drained dry.
The poor hen bird was so full that she
seemed quite sick; the cock, however,
drank his full share as in duty bound,
being the most assiduous in all matters
pertaining to the incubator, always
sitting on the eggs himself by night.
